After Twilight star Peter Facinelli and 90210’s Jennie Garth announced that they were divorcing after 11 years of marriage, the estranged couple were upset to learn about all the reports speculating infidelity had triggered the divorce. Now in an exclusive statement to People, the couple are setting the record straight, saying:

“There are rumors out there which are completely untrue and hurtful to our family. We just want to make it very clear – there are no third parties involved.”

On Tuesday, the couple confirmed the split news to US Weekly and said, “While we have decided to end our marriage, we both share the same deep love and devotion to our children. We remain dedicated to raising our beautiful daughters together. We ask for privacy and respect during this time.”
